Maggie Tournament 2017

    I had great time fishing the Team Maggie Tournament again this year. My buddy came in from NC to do it with me. We pre-fished a couple days then hit the lake on Saturday AM for the tournament.

    Thursday we put in at Little Hall and worked our way down to the dam and East Bank hitting various spots along the way. We only managed to catch some sun but it was a beautiful day to be on the water.

    Friday I had some stuff I had to take care of in the morning so we made it out around 12:30 or so. It turns out it was too windy to fish anyway. We put in at East Bank and just made it out to the deep water and the chop was just too bad to bother so we messed around in the cove then took out.

Saturday we made the bait shop by 6 then headed to East Bank again. The wind was calm and the water was flat. We hit our first spot and set up all of the baits to troll. We immediately got a strike and landed a fish... only 24.5 but a promising start.

    After trolling the area for a while, with only one take down (missed), we decided to move over to the dam. Nothing on the finder there so we headed north up to Six Mile stopping once on the way to try a spot birds were hanging out. We trolled Six Mile without any luck so headed further North. We tried chasing birds and trolling whee we would see them but we just could not get anything to bite.

Trees or Fish??

    We trolled the last stretch to the check in at Little Hall and gave up.

We did not check in our fish as it was a two fish total and we knew we did not have a chance. If we would have checked in we would have been around 30th.

Cant wait to do this great event again next year.
